I've realized a life is not a life in which evil is avoided, but in which good is emphasized over evil.
I'd spend my last ten day asking for forgiveness, and putting in as many good deeds as I can.
we can only have a philosophical understanding of death, until it is actually occurring.
but I disagree with "Life is just a dream on our way to death".
we are 'immortal' in a way, ie. continuing to exist after death.
my two yen's worth
that, or it's midnight and I'm feeling groggy
[Yusufali 50:22] (It will be said) "Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!"
to me especially in Arabic, denotes that we walk almost veiled from reality, and upon death as per verse that veil shall be lifted, so we see things very clearely!

i thought it spoke of disbelievers
but say it does speak for all, life is existance, and death is a continuation of that, I believe that gives a very broad meaning for reality...
whats a dream in this context by the way?
I would spend my last ten days praying for forgiveness and mercy. I would spend as much time with my family as possible. I would let everyone I know, know that I love them.

I have very special connections with this sura.. I can't put in words.. it has made it to my dream three random times, but I digress.. my understanding of the verse, is that we will ALL see very clearely upon death..
as for my quote.. it is silly, I change them often and it has nothing to do with the thread.. be that as it may, I certainly do believe that people acquire understanding and wisdom upon death as if we are all in a dream from which we awaken at that moment.. as per prophet Moses PBUH 'all foolishness is expiated with death'
heh, thanks
lol go to sleep already..

alright, I see your point.
haven't thought much about the topic recently for some reason or another...thanks for bringing it up.
interesting that, about the dreams. so how did you 'see' it?
ok,ok
I discussed the dream here before if you want to search for it.. but I was advised not to seek interpretations for dreams on forums.. and in fact I wouldn't have were it not for the number of times I dreamt it....
have a great night rest!!!...

ok, but I don't think dreams should be interpreted by people other than the person who had the dream, I'm reminded of :
إن الرؤيا على رجل طائر ما لم تعْبر ،
فإذا عُبرت وقعت
also, life might be harsh some times, but it also could be is good and beautiful,so enjoy it, but don't forget you're dying sometime.
I think dwelling too much on death is quite unhealthy...
indeed.. however I have always had an obsession with death since I was 7 yrs old.... I can pinpoint the day my interest was sparked.. and even in the days when I lived as an agnostic or those where I had doubts about God all together.. I was still very much obsessed and fascinated with death...
so it isn't a religion or a theology sparked interest....I don't know if that helps or makes a difference? but I have learned to accept my own idiosyncrasies..
by the way your quote isn't necessairly a bad thing... whether I say my dreams or withold them, they have always been so patently clear ad required no explanation, in fact happen as I dream them.. hence my curiosity about this sura was the occult nature of the dream...
but I hear ya..

hmmm, I wonder what sparked that?
and the occult ye say?
"When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices. When you die, you rejoice, and the world cries", is it perhaps death as a means to get closer to God
I have personally thought of death as a sort of regression to the womb...
and I can write on my theories of that, (not that anyone would be interested) but it is very late here too and I need to work on my other thread.. hoping to finish it soon insha'Allah on a good note...
as for what sparked my interest...
it was a place called 'maqbaret al 3ood' in Riydh Saudi Arabia.. I wasn't even aware what it was until one night I came upon it in a dream, then saw it in real life... I am sure the order was reversed but that is how I remember it....
now off to sleep heh
